Fauxtoshop: 15 More Real Photos that Look Faked
Today's site, from the WebUrbanist, presents even more of the incredible
pictures
that usually provoke the "Photoshopped!" response. Savvy Gentle Subscribers, au
fait with the clever manipulation of real objects, know that these startling
images
are perfectly authentic and may be mildly amused by this collection of clever
photographs.
"A man walking on water, a bunny the size of a dog and a fetus floating in a
starry
sky -- none of these things can actually be real, right? In an age when almost
anyone can effectively manipulate images in Photoshop, it's easy to scoff at
every
incredible photograph that you see on the internet. Don't let your cynicism get
the
best of you. Some are the result of sheer dumb luck, others from hours of
careful
preparation and some exist because reality is simply stranger than fiction, but
these 15 images are 100% authentic." - from the website
This group of photos features jaw-dropping images, some of them so startling,
that
until the explanation of how they were created and photographed is revealed, it
is
difficult to accept that they are real. From the car which appears to be a
mirage,
to the security entrance masquerading as a guitar amp, these photos strain
credulity but are a testament to human ingenuity and wit.
